Seasonal calendar Current hazards • High costs of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, which limit subsistence farmers’ access to these inputs. • Increase in fuel prices, which have generated increases in the prices of transportation, food and other products. • Increase in morbidity due to diarrheic and respiratory diseases that are most prevalent during the beginning of the rainy period. Rainy season Forecasts by the Nicaraguan Institute of Land Studies (INETER) indicate that the rainy period will be established throughout the country in the third dekad of May. An irregular distribution of rains is foreseen in the country, due to variations in both the beginning of the rainy period and the expected precipitation volumes (see Map 1).

  • Nicaragua: Floods
    Operation DREF n° MDRNI002 Nicaragua: GLIDE n° FL-2010-000106-NIC Floods 3 June 2010 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent emergency response. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. 36,248 Swiss francs (USD 31,341 US dollars /25,642 euro) has been allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Nicaraguan Red Cross (NRC) in delivering immediate assistance to some 150 families, approximately 750 beneficiaries. Un- earmarked funds to replenish the DREF are encouraged. Summary: Nicaragua has been affected by heavy rains from the tropical storm Agatha. Five departments have been affected with León, Chinandega and Managua reporting major damages. The Nicaraguan Red Cross has carried out evacuations in the affected municipalities of the departments of León, Chinandega and Managua to collective centres established by the Ministry of Education in coordination with the National System for Prevention, Mitigation and Response to Disasters. The Quezalguaque bridge has been affected by the floods. Source: Nicaraguan Red Cross. This operation is expected to be implemented over three months, and will therefore be completed by 31 August 2010; a Final Report will be made available three months after the end of the operation (30 November). <Click here for the DREF budget; here for a map of the affected areas; and here for contact details> The Situation Since 26 May 2010, the Western Pacific Region of Nicaragua has been affected by intermittent rain with occasional moderate intensity as a result of the tropical depression Agatha.
